Let's Get Digital -- Easter Fun with Andrea!

Hello there everyone! It's Andrea Bethke here
and first I want to say that I hope you all had a wonderful Easter!
And in celebration of this special time of year, I wanted to give you
guys a little Easter present for your “scrapbook basket”...it is
like an Easter basket, but with digital scrappy goodness inside!
That's right everyone, today is a “let's get digital day” and in
honor of Easter-time, I have made for you all some really cute
printables! I will show you how to use these printables for a quick
day after Easter scrappy project. You will see how to take my
printables and your Citrus Twist April kits and some of those fun
pics you took yesterday to play and make something really easy and
pretty for your Easter memories!

So let's take a look at the printables.
There is a large, 8x10 printable for a layout background (or you
could use it for journaling too if you like) and there are pocket 3x4
card printables too! And there is an adorable bunny in the
printables...yaaaaaay!

3x4 card printables:

And now let's get started “gettin
digital”, shall we? So first download your Easter printables and
then print them out on nice cardstock (you could also use photo paper
if you want to...matte would probably work best). And then look at
those photos you just took yesterday for Easter and pick a few of
your faves out! You do not need to go through aaaaaaalllll of the
Easter pics you took right now, so just skim through and choose a
few of the ones that really pop out at you as being super cute. I
don't want you to get overwhelmed with all the Easter photos there
are to go through. This isn't meant to be a huge Easter project, but
just a fun, next day kind of scrappy, happy Easter project where you
can just make a quick layout or pocket page or both using your new
printables.

I designed these printables to be easy
to use. You can simply tuck the 3x4 pocket cards into a pocket page
with some pics if you like. Maybe do a little bit of journaling and a
wee bit of decorating with stickers or enamel dots or buttons and
things and voila, you are done!

And I made it easy to use the large
8x10 printable to make a cool Easter layout too! What I did was
automatically give you your background to build a layout on. And as
you can see, I gave you a title with the “Happy Easter” at the
top of the page. Then at the bottom, opposite corner from the title,
I placed my sweet little bunny. And then there is a whole lot of
white space for you to work with! All you have to do is frame this
printable with some patterned paper from the Citrus Twist April kit!
I love the Maggie Holmes Chasing Dreams paper in there and I couldn't
choose between a couple of them so I decided to use a bit of both.

Once you have framed your printable,
start building up on the page, in the white space. I cut out a frame
from the frame patterned paper in the kit (also from Maggie Holmes
Chasing Dreams) and used that as a cute frame for my photo. I had
printed a few photos out, but this one I think looked the cutest on
my layout (so the others will be used later in a pocket page with my
other printables). And then after I framed my pic, I backed it with
a few layers. I used a couple pocket life cards from the Citrus Twist
Pocket Life kit for April along with a few cut pieces of patterned
paper from the Main kit.

I added some cute embellishments like
the awesome Pinkfresh Studio paperclip and the lovely butterfly flair
and the ephemera pack pieces that come exclusive in the kit. I also
used some fun pop up stickers from Dear Lizzy that came in the
Embellishment Add on kit.

For some extra depth, I popped up my cute
printable bunny too! For this, I just printed out the 8x10 printable
again and fussy cut out the bunny, then popped it up in it's spot
with a pop-dot. And that was about it...a little sewing here and
there and I was done! So simple and easy and fast!

Alright, well I hope you enjoyed this
“let's get digital” with me today and that you enjoy your Easter
printables! Bye everyone! And remember to “live your life as a
fairytale”, as I always say!
